Vintage gas station Pictures

Judging by the damage, and the fact that the Fairlane is sitting on TOP of some snow, I think it was punted there by something else........

 

Man, been a while since this thread has seen activity.

Here's something that I thought you would all enjoy:



Hulett C Merritt founded the Tagus Ranch and fruit stand in 1912 four miles north of Tulare, CA, which would later grow to encompass 7000-acres. After it was fully developed, it was the largest fruit farm in the world. These images were taken in the early 1930s to mid-’30s.



At this location on the Ranch near the fruit stand was a Mobile Oil Service Station, the “Tagus Cafe and Soda Fountain,” and behind it was a store handling “General Merchandise.” At one point, employees and farm workers were paid in “Tagus Ranch Cash” that was redeemable at this facility.

Most likely a promotional photo. I'm intrigued by the sliding samba style sun roof. I didn't know Buick offered that in the early 50's.

Caltex is overseas, so the roof's likely an overseas-only option.

 

I didn't know that about CALTEX. Interesting.

 

Yeah, I'd seen Caltex stations in the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan.
